Platyzantha sp. 



Mubiiku Valley, E. Ruwenzori, 6000-7000 ft. 



A species very similar to the preceding one, but of nearly twice its size. 



Platyxantha usambarica Weise (Mimastroides), Archiv fiir Naturg. 1902, p. 158. 



Mubuku Valley, E. Ruwenzori, 5000-13,000 ft. 



This species, represented by three examples (2 d and 1 ? ), is provisionally placed 

 in the genus Platyxantha with the object of indicating the group to which I believe 

 it belongs. The acetabula of the front coxse are completely closed in behind by the 

 extension inwards of the epimera to meet the feebly dilated end of the prosternum, 

 the tibiae are all unarmed, and the epipleures of the elytra are distinct and rather 

 broad near the base, but become gradually narrower posteriorly, and disappear entirely 

 at the beginning of the apical border ; the pronotum is without a transverse groove or 

 depression, the species in this respect differing from the more typical forms of 

 Platyxantha. In the male the antennae are slightly longer and thicker than in the 

 female, and are rather densely covered with short erect pubescence ; the last ventral 

 segment in the same sex is feebly emarginate at the apex. 



Two other species nearly allied to this one, and represented each by a single example, 

 were also obtained in the Mubuku Valley, East Ptuwenzori, alt. 6000-7000 ft.
